SportsML 1.6: What's New in this Release
Core Adjustments
Added this attribute to rank element:
type (for better-described rankings)
Added these attributes to event-metadata:
event-recurring-key
event-recurring-name
(for regularly recurring events, such as the Daytona 500,
to help track stats from year to year. For example:
event-key="e.daytona-500.2005
event-recurring-key="er.daytona-500"
Hence the recurring-key stays the same from year to year, while
the event-key is unique for that one instance of the event.)
Added these attributes to site-metadata:
shape (for motor-racing, sample values such as "oval")
incline (for motor-racing, sample values such as "13" -- in degrees)
length (for motor-racing, sample values such as ".75")
length-units (for motor-racing, sample values such as "miles")
type (for motor-racing, sample values such as "super-speedway")
Added highlight element as a child of team-stats and player-stats
Added event-stats element alongside (and after) event-metadata. Holds event-stats-specific elements,
including event-stats-motor-racing, with attributes applying to the event as a whole.
The event-stats element could also record total goals scored for an entire hockey game, for example.
Allowed sports-property to appear under tournament-division-metadata
(it's already under tournament-metadata)
